Chapter 350: Questioning
The emperor was a little surprised when he saw the empress so angry, but his expression was much gentler than when he looked at Concubine Xian, "Empress, why are you here?" ”
The queen is still a little angry with the emperor, although her body has just recovered before, as Hailan said, she wants to get back her rights in this harem, mainly relying on the emperor, so she greets the emperor with a smile in front of the emperor, and has never shown the emperor a black face, but today she really can't bear it, she glanced at the emperor coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Of course it's for my Yi'er's death!" ”
He Haixing raised his eyebrows and blessed the queen slightly, "The queen's mother." ”
The queen looked at He Haixing, shouted her head, and saw the scars on He Haixing's face, her eyes narrowed slightly, "Concubine Chun, what's wrong?" ”
He Haixing hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his face and shook his head slightly, "It's okay, it's just that I was scratched by Concubine Xian, and it's not a big deal." ”
The queen looked at Concubine Xian, her eyes were cold, and her tone was even colder, "Concubine Xian, whether it was more than ten years ago or now, you are so vicious!" ”
"I don't understand what you're talking about, Queen Mother!" Concubine Xian looked at the queen vigilantly, trying not to panic, she frowned tightly, looked at the queen, and said in a deep voice, "When Princess Qingyi died, I was obviously with the queen mother, aren't you still in your mind, are you confused?" ”
The queen looked at Concubine Xian, who was arguing for herself, and her eyes became more and more cold, "Do you think that this palace will come to the door without any evidence?" ”
The emperor stood aside and looked at the queen, but did not speak, now he can be the lord of the world, he doesn't want to be the same when he first ascended the throne, he has to be afraid of this, scruple of that, now that the queen wants to investigate the murderer who killed Qingyi back then, he naturally wants to help the queen.
Concubine Xian saw that the emperor was obviously biased towards the queen's side, and the whole person was deflated, but she couldn't admit that she was also involved in killing Princess Qingyi and wanted to pull the queen off the throne.
"Queen Mother, it's been more than ten years, are you serious..."
"Shut up!" The queen snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, "Bring everyone in." ”
Then Murong Lianxing walked in with a few people, two of them were already old people in the harem, and one of them was once attached to Concubine Wan, and the other was once attached to Concubine Xian, and the two nobles came in and followed the other palace maids and grandmothers, kneeling on the ground with a puff, "Your Majesty, please spare the concubine!" The concubine only acted according to the words of the mother back then! ”
The emperor looked at the two of them with a narrowed eye, "Make it clear!" ”
He Haixing had already put on the veil again and stood beside the emperor, and said at this time, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, let's sit and listen to them." ”
The queen glanced at He Haixing, looked at her belly, which was not very obvious, and bowed her head, "It's okay." ”
The emperor stretched out his hand to help the empress, the empress glanced at the emperor, and the emperor helped him to sit down on the soft couch, and spoke to the emperor in a slower tone, "Your Majesty, you also sit." He Haixing looked at him again, "Concubine Chun, you can also sit." ”
He Haixing answered and sat down on the chair on the lower right of the queen, and the queen looked at the few people kneeling on the ground, "You explain everything you know clearly, if you explain it clearly, then the palace will spare you from death, otherwise, the crime of killing the eldest princess is enough for you to exterminate the nine clans!" ”
The two nobles were startled, and the other grandmothers and palace maids were even more shocked, they entered the palace for the livelihood of their families before they chose to enter the palace as slaves, if they killed their families because of this incident, what did they do when they entered the palace? It's better to be a maid in the house outside!
At that moment, there was a grandmother who said, "The slave maid is the mother of the palace of the good concubine, the concubine suddenly invited someone to ask our mother to go to the lotus, but the mother naturally does not like to contact with people, so she did not go, and then the concubine Niangniang ordered someone to come and invite our mother to watch the play, and said that the queen also went, so that the good concubine must give the queen that face, the mother originally wanted to refuse, but I heard that the queen mother went, and knew that if she didn't go, it would not be good, so she responded to the invitation of the concubine Niangniang, Our mother didn't expect Princess Qingyi to fall into the lake and die like that. ”
The queen glanced at the grandmother, and then looked at Concubine Xian, who calmly looked at the queen and chuckled, "Queen Mother, is it just because I invited you to watch a play, do you want to think that I killed Princess Qingyi?" ”
The queen sneered, "We'll find out if we listen to it again." ”
Another grandmother said, "The slave maid is the personal maid of the lady who died a few years ago, and after the death of the lady concubine, it is the slave maid who has been in charge of the chores of Yongning Palace." ”
Before Wan Guifei was demoted to a concubine, there was still a concubine, and that concubine was the mother of the current four princes and the king of Ling, but she had no blessings, and not long after her son was crowned king, he died of incense.
The queen looked at the grandmother quietly, the grandmother glanced at Concubine Xian, and then at the emperor, and suddenly fell to the ground, begging for mercy, "Please let the queen mother let go of the king of Ling, our concubine Niangniang was willing to participate in that conspiracy back then, and it was completely Concubine Xian who threatened our family with the king of Ling, who was still a child." ”
"Full of nonsense! Honest and untrustworthy! Concubine Xian stopped the grandmother's words, her eyes were red, "You are talking nonsense, now that more than ten years have passed, with a few words from you, do you want to frame this palace?" ”
The emperor glanced at Concubine Xian coldly, Concubine Xian also knew that she was excited, she eased her mood, and looked at the grandmother coldly, "What evidence do you have that I persecuted your mother back then?" ”
Mama took out a handful of paper that had been yellowed because of the old from her arms, "This is the letter between Concubine Xian Niangniang and our mother, you are afraid that often meeting our mother will attract attention, so you have always put the letter in the stone crack behind the rockery in the imperial garden, where the letter is every time I go to pick it up and take it back to my mother, Niangniang to you to reply to the letter is also the slave maid to the rockery behind the stone crack to put it, and then Mama Gui to get it." ”
The grandmother looked at the personal grandmother standing behind Concubine Xian, and asked calmly, "Grandma Gui, are you right?" ”
Mama Gui was stunned suddenly, she didn't expect that the old sister of decades actually dragged herself into the water, after Concubine Shu's death, she had not lived well in Yongning Palace in these years, and thanks to her own help, she could still be the head of Yongning Palace, but now she is revenge in order to survive?
